Caring for mothers every day

Kalaivani says that helping care for mothers after childbirth is her passion.

When she was a little girl, Kalaivani Rajeswaran used to watch her grandmother, Erammal Vellaiyan Naiker, prepare all sorts of concoctions and meals for new mothers who were in confinement.

Erammal was a midwife in Banting, Selangor and Kalaivani remembers being amazed at the way her grandmother expertly handled newborn babies, including her own brother and sister who Erammal delivered at home.
